SB_systems have you considered dl'ing an .iso instead and then using UNetbootin? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/announce.html memstick This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. There are no pre-built packages. As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming the USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something like this should work: # dd if="FreeBSD"-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs="10240" conv="sync" Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.

Edit: Ah, I'm seeing this was mentioned already. I'm working on the KDevelop IDE.

scummos Global Moderator Posts 1175 Karma 7 OS	Re: KDE USB writer Sun Apr 21, 2013 12:08 pm Ok -- I recall that a few years ago, this "simply dd it" approach didn't work for many distributions, at least not without changing the root partition in the boot loader or similar things. I'm working on the KDevelop IDE.

Thanks, Michel yes but you wish'ed to use unetbootin or imagewriter or another gui and for those tools it appears you need to dl the .iso, else you'll need to use command line, even on the pc-bsd site they only mention a gui for Windows and none for Linux ps - good question to post on DistroWatch OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x
dandv Registered Member Posts 28 Karma 0 OS	2016 update Sat Sep 03, 2016 9:38 pm To burn an ISO to a USB drive, use usb-creator-kde Code: Select all `sudo apt install usb-creator-kde -y` K3b only supports optical media, and UNetbootin keeps asking me to mount the USB drive, which was already mounted to /media/dandv/.
